I realize that SCSI is pretty much dead. It makes me cry, as a whole number of my shiny Sun systems, like dara, an Enterprise 4000 server, all take SCSI.
If, for some reason one still wants to hook up an IDE/ATAPI DVD burner or somesuch to a SCSI bus, comrades from the field are recommending Acard Technology AEC-7720U SCSI to IDE bridgeboard.
link, which might die whenever Acard folks decide to change format of their site).
At 69 USD per board, somewhat costly.
As I’ve mentioned before, I also own a Promise UltraTrak TX8, which is an IDE RAID tower with SCSI interface to the host system.
So I wonder if there is a dongle or somesuch that can convert SCSI to firewire, so I could start using my 800 gig storage array with an iBook 🙂
Any suggestions?
Take a look at Ratoc’s SCSI to Firewire adapter, it will allow you to hook up an external enclosure that has 50 pin high density to Firewire 400.

Their store lists it for $89 USD.
